Do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Score: 48.0Suggestion: Give a clear, relevant topic sentence and provide concise, specific reasons using correct grammar and linking words. Avoid unclear words (e.g. 'Kai') and redundant phrases. Keep to 2–3 sentences: state preference, then explain with one specific reason and an example.
Example: I prefer typing to handwriting. Nowadays most of my schoolwork and communication are done on computers, so typing is faster and easier to edit when I make mistakes.
Do you type on a desktop or laptop keyboard every day?
Score: 42.0Suggestion: Start with a clear direct answer (desktop or laptop), then give one specific reason connected with a linking word. Remove fillers and finish the sentence. Limit to 2–3 sentences.
Example: I usually type on a laptop because I often move between classes and libraries. As a college student I need a portable device, so a laptop is more convenient than a desktop.
When did you learn how to type on a keyboard?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Give a concise time phrase and a clear explanation. Use simpler, accurate sentences and correct causal linking words (e.g. 'because', 'so'). Clarify ambiguous parts (e.g. 'known all day twice' is unclear) by explaining the reason in plain English.
Example: I learned to type before starting elementary school because my father thought it would help me with my studies. He arranged lessons so I would be comfortable using computers at school.
How do you improve your typing?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Answer in present tense if talking about current practice, or past tense for past methods. Provide one specific method and, if possible, a brief result or recommendation, using linking words and avoiding repetition.
Example: I improved my typing by practicing regularly with touch-typing exercises and typing games. As a result, my speed and accuracy increased after practicing for 20 minutes every day.
× I prefer Kai.
✓ I prefer typing.
The student likely meant the activity 'typing' rather than a person named Kai; using the wrong noun/pronoun creates confusion. Replace the incorrect pronoun/noun with the correct one to match the question about typing vs handwriting.
× This is because when I was young the handwriting is usual things.
✓ This is because when I was young handwriting was usual.
The sentence mixes past context with present tense 'is'. Use past tense 'was' to match 'when I was young'. Also 'usual things' is unnatural; use 'was usual' or 'was common'. Remove unnecessary articles for clarity.
× However, now there every tasks are conducted by computer.
✓ However, now almost all tasks are conducted on computers.
Word order was incorrect ('there every tasks'). Use 'almost all tasks' for quantifier and plural 'computers' with preposition 'on'. This corrects tense (present simple) and word order.
× That's the reason why I prefer.
✓ That's the reason why I prefer typing.
The verb 'prefer' requires an object (what is preferred). Add 'typing' to complete the sentence and clarify meaning.
× I usually type a laptop by this type because I am uh.
✓ I usually use a laptop to type because I am...
The original uses incorrect prepositions and word order ('type a laptop by this type'). Use 'use a laptop to type' or 'type on a laptop'. Also the sentence is incomplete ('because I am...') so add context or leave trailing pause indicated by ellipsis.
× Since I am a college student, I have lots of times to go outside.
✓ Since I am a college student, I have lots of time to go out.
Use 'time' (uncountable) not 'times' in this context. 'Go outside' is acceptable but 'go out' is more idiomatic for going out socially; maintain present simple tense.
× That's the reason why I usually.
✓ That's the reason why I usually do.
The verb phrase is incomplete; 'usually' needs a main verb. Add 'do' or repeat the action: 'That's why I usually use a laptop.' Be explicit to complete the sentence.
× I learned typing before I entered the elementary school, and this is because my father heard that in Korean elementary school students were known all day twice, so he gave me the education of it.
✓ I learned to type before I entered elementary school because my father heard that Korean elementary school students practice typing twice a day, so he taught me.
Use 'learned to type' instead of 'learned typing' for correctness. 'Entered elementary school' does not need 'the'. The clause about 'were known all day twice' is ungrammatical and unclear; interpret as 'practice typing twice a day'. Use active 'taught me' instead of 'gave me the education of it.' Ensure past tense consistency.
× When I was young and learned how to type, I just do repeated repeat and do do it repeatedly several times.
✓ When I was young and learning how to type, I just repeated the practice and did it many times.
Tense inconsistency: 'was young and learned' should be 'was young and learning' or 'learned'. Use past simple 'repeated'/'did' rather than present 'do'. Remove redundant words ('repeated repeat', 'do do'). 'Several times' can be simplified to 'many times'.
× I think that's the only way to deal with it.
✓ I think that's the only way to learn it.
The phrase 'deal with it' is odd for learning a skill. Use 'learn it' or 'improve' to match the question about improving typing. This makes the sentence semantically appropriate.
